What law did president woodrow wilson sign in 1917, which started federal funding for vocational education?

In 1917, Wilson signed the Smith-Hughes Act. This act called for funding for vocational education for programs dealing with industry, agriculture, and homemaking. This funding helped to spark all of the vocational education we see today in public schools. The money provided by Wilson was used to hire teachers with training in these specific areas. The Smith-Hughes Act also helped to dictate how much time was spent on instruction and how much time was spent on hand on learning experiences for the students.
